Just a small doubt.
Let’s say we pay for some 6 month plan. Do they change the fup limit for people under this plan also or does it reset once the plan ends?
I’ve been told by an “agent” that everyone comes under new fup if there’s any change.
eh, I deliberately got the higher minor patch version, I doubt airtel would do any breaking changes in a patch version, better to get the highest one imo
why take a risk if you haven’t paid? unless you have read the T&Cs and even then if these fuckers change the FUP, there’ll be shit you can do aside from consumer court and I have tried that once with Airtel postpaid and unless you have the time to actually go through the full process they’ll get away with it too.
This has minor bugs, showing as previous months usage for the current cycle
All of the older ones don’t work as intended, I guess.

It has been changed back to 3300GB.

We should be proud of ourselves. A couple of protesting nerds on a Techenclave forum got them to change it :cigar:

Was just about to ask if this is region specific or something because mine still showed the 3.3 TB FUP.
We really should be proud of ourselves.
This is very sad situation where ISPs providing internet services via Fiber are trying to reduce FUP limits especially at the time when OTT and Online content consumption is increasing and people are cord-cutting. ISPs need to improve/increase their capacity and try to raise these limits. Jio and Airtel are doing the same by limiting FUP to 1TB on their 5G FWA 
Yep, I never trusted ACT fibernet and with this that will continue.
Yep, average joe doesn’t really care about whether they are getting 3.3TB FUP or 1.5TB FUP and most don’t even know their so called “unlimited” plan is actually not unlimited. Honestly govt. should do something about this fake “unlimited” tag. Its a clear misinformation that almost all major broadband gets away with just because they have defined the “unlimited” term in small letters as the exact FUP in their terms and conditions.
I alone consume up to 1TB per month while being a normal user who streams and downloads stuff like games. Now combine that with a family who might watch something on streaming platforms such as netflix or prime that usage might go higher than 1.5TB combined. So you are right in that sense. Normally if someone is using their internet just for watching stuff online that might be okay but you add x2 more (for a family of 4) and someone who’s on their PC doing whatever now suddenly you are almost reaching the cap that is 1.5TB. This FUP might have been okay in 2015 but now who knows.
p.s Netflix has been using AV1 codec for their content and others should follow this step.
Nah, the actual credit goes to the thread in broadband forum. Its the forum where ISP reps lurk.
Technically, an unlimited plan with FUP is still unlimited as long as one can use the plan with reduced speeds post FUP.

True, but they should explicitly mention Post-FUP speeds if they plan to enforce speed limits. Since most of the content these days is cached (Netflix, Google, Facebook etc), ISPs should strive to remove these FUPs at least on fiber broadband where it is relatively much easier to build high capacities.
Lol. Hardly engagement of IBF is 10% of what happens in TE. Look at number of visitors and members online.
For a fact, social media folks look at TE forum too. 
I am thinking of ways to monitor this.
I wrote an Android app (
) to see the the current usage for the Airtel Fiber connection.
I am wondering if adding things like auto-monitoring and alerts would help. Feedback is welcome!

That looks useful, I’ll give it a try later today — I have a round-robin setup to balance multiple connections so it’ll be interesting see what your app would show.
Party’s over — these rings haven’t updated for me in over two weeks. Now I just gotta wait until someone complains that the internet is slow again.
@@Mr. Studd is your app still working?
Nope - it seems the “API” endpoint has changed. I will take a look soon.

For the people saying it’s only for overseas tragic, there’s barely any servers in india for most of the services.
That’s not how the internet works, it’s only their way of making it more comfortable to hear
how did you figure out the endpoint? just logged the network requests ?
Guys, today I inquired with act and they are saying “unlimited”…They say it is 3300gb, but seemed unsure of it though.
Any act users, can u confirm if it is 1500gb or 3300gb?
As per their website, it is 3300gb.
3300 gb, i ran through it in a few days this month, had to buy more data
